Got 1896 yesterday. Think it took about 6 hours. As others have said, all personal settings had gone, eg door locking, phone, and primary user (We Connect). Took about an hour of messing with primary user, as it kept saying unable to find, but eventually it was reinstated. think it took about 6 or 8 attempts

So mines in for two days at the end of the month,

Has anyone who was on 16XX and had the latest update got a photo of the software version screen afterwards please?

Also did it enable the map on the virtual cockpit afterwards as some of them had it previously and others didn't (week 48 builds in 2020 for example do week 47 and prior doesn't, mines a wk47!!!!)

Thanks

I don't think it will enable map on the dash but Obd11 does the trick no problem even on 16xx

Thanks for the advice guys, my car is currently getting the 1896 update which I am told takes several hours.  :whistle:

Thanks I’d seen that with OBD11 wasn’t sure whether the upgrade levelled the playing field or not, I just need to get OBD11!!!

Had update 1896 for a few days now, and done about 200 miles. No issues so far, everything seems to work as it should. Hope it continues 🤞🤞

Following on from my earlier post; Mk8 GTI went into my local VW Dealer on the 14/06/22 for a planned two day recall/software update. Its now the 20/06 and its still there. The Service Dept are doing their level best and are keeping me updated as such. After accepting the first application/download the infotainment system is now blocking anything further. The dealer has chased VW UK Technical who, I have been informed, are chasing VW Germany Tech for answers. I have been lent a car {free of charge} for a planned trip over the past weekend which I will now return tomorrow. I have the use of my wife's car and can work from home if required,  but am perplexed and frustrated to say the least.
Trouble is, who can you "complain" too? The Dealer is trying to locate and fix the issue. Don't know why its taking this long for an answer to a known issue with this software? Have logged a call with VW UK Customer Services, so we'll see what happens. Love the car when it works but this is not a happy experience to say the least.

Hello;
Update to my last post; Dealer is now waiting for a new ECU as it thinks that is the cause of the software download failing.
Ordered part on 24/06/22. Once received, has to be programmed to the car{?] then proceed with the original update.
May be ready by end of the week, but I'm not hopeful. Returned the courtesy car back to the dealer as promised {it was a 71 plate T-Roc R Line} and now thanks to VW Customer care have a loan vehicle due to shortage at the Dealer; and that vehicle is... a 19 plate Ford Focus Estate Diesel. Thanks Europcar.

Just collected the car, all done software updated to 1896 from 1666. Hopefully its fixed all of the sensor issues its recently started with but the two big things it has now gained




TEMPERATURE SYNC!!!!  :laugh:



And.... Maps in the cluster  :grin:

Also the latest icons for BBC radio stations, need to sort my primary user back out but other than that so far so good

That's great news!
Does the temperature sync stay on even after switching off the ignition? That's one thing mine does not do even on 1896.
